Development Services

The Director of Community Development of the City of Spring Valley Village welcomes you to our City. The Community Development Department is responsible for guiding the development process while ensuring the health, safety, and welfare of the City of Spring Valley Village residents and visitors. This department administers the City's building and zoning codes.


The Community Development Department is divided into two divisions:

Construction Approval

The Community Development Department approves all new construction and proposed improvements to existing structures to ensure they conform to all City ordinances. Zoning ordinances control the location of all buildings and equipment on a lot. Final approval of all plans, permits, and inspections rests with this department, ensuring sound construction for owners.

Zoning Ordinance Information

Copies of the Zoning Ordinances are available for purchase at the Permit Office in City Hall. Remember, the homeowner is responsible for seeing that the proper permits have been obtained before the work begins.
